> I'd take a crowd sourced db of health info over a doctor's personal knowledge any day of the week.

I think it's a great idea, and so I went looking for a StackExchange forum for it. It turns out there is one that is in the staging phase:

Obviously caveat emptor, YMMV etc. would apply to such a forum, and the other issue is that a patient posting there doesn't have access to all the diagnosis tools that doctors do.
